Somali PM says islamic law will weaken islamist insurgency

Uh huh, Pakistan is a perfect case study for implementing shariah law to weaken islamic terrorists. Pakistan allowed shariah law in the SWAT region and now the taliban have no reason to fight....

WHAT did you say? The taliban are still fighting?
From Voice of America

Somalia's Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke on Sunday hailed parliament's approval of Islamic law, or Sharia, as a major step toward establishing peace and stability in the country. But the prime minister rejected suggestions that imposition of Sharia would lead to establishment of a Taliban-type state.

Prime Minister Sharmarke predicted that parliament's passage of Sharia law would neutralize extremists who have sworn to crush his government and create a radical Islamic state. In a VOA interview, Mr. Sharmarke said the decision to use Sharia as the basis of Somalia's civil law takes away the main argument used by radical groups such as al-Shabab to rally opposition to his government.

"This shows nobody actually has a monopoly on Islam," said Prime Minister Sharmarke. "And by doing so, this removed any justifications for any opposition group to use this as a political end - to use Islam for political ends. But [it is] no longer that [al-]Shabab or any other opposition can claim Islam."

HA! Al Shabaab will just call you a stooge of the west and an infidel so therefore they must continue the jihad.
